Going to Kanyakumari was a long-standing dream. Probably since the time I first heard the term Kashmir to Kanyakumari for India. I lived in Kashmir as a child. And Kanyakumari was always very far off for a long time. It was that thrill of visiting the tip of India. To be able to see the sunrise and sunset at the same time, to be able to see the sun going down and moon coming up on a full moon night. And of course, visit the Vivekananda Rock Memorial.
It was only when I started living in Bangalore it seemed feasible. But for some reason, it always remained elusive. I planned a trip many times, but it remained jinxed for many years. This month when we planned a South Kerala trip with a clear intent to do Kanyakumari, it still tried to play hard. A hurricane in the Indian Ocean brought in incessant rains in Trivandrum, where we based ourselves. Everyone said we would not be able to visit the Vivekananda Rock Memorial there. I was inclined to believe that jinx was still on. And coming so far has not helped. But against popular advise decided to go and see whatever is possible. And hope that rain gods will take a break and allow us to visit the famous rock.
